Thats a motor bike? I thought it was an outboard :doh: br |

Its quite a comfortable bike TBH But the only way I could stretch 4000 miles over 10 days is by pushing it PMSL..... Lets work this out that 400 miles a day lol so what do you do after breakfast. I bought her a year ago and put 24000 miles on it in 11 month and my back is still fine. Modern bikes are made of aluminum not iron...... thats where HD went wrong amongst a few other things.

Scuba, you have to remember that in most of the USA Harleys are limited to 55MPH... At least it means the sweeper-up can keep close as he picks up the parts that fall off ;) Could also explain why high-speed handling isn't an issue, that and the roads being long and (tediously?) straight compared to the sinuous curves we're blessed with on the right of the pond :) As for back-breakers, the "cruiser" riding position is probably why so many US bikers complain about their Hoverlloyds - feet stuck out in front, all the weight on the bum, compared to the European style where you can get "up in the stirrups" and absorb some of the shocks with your legs? Same goes for horse-riding - I tried a "western" saddle once, bum was battered after a couple of hours! I wonder if that's why they call cowboys and bikers "bad-assed"? Dave H.

The upside of the "easy rider " position is that after 200 miles you can a tie your boot laces without bending down and you don't have to clean the visor of dead insects. Just give the leathers a quick wipe down on the back for the flies that miss judged the overtaking speed and you are done. 55mph ??? do they only have one gear then ??? ATB Michael |
